Please follow the safety instructions before start-up!Illustration For a 11/4“ (31.7 mm) hose, the hose

connection must be sawed off first.Illustration Place the flat seal into the hose connec-

tion piece.If you would like to prevent the water that is standing in the hose or above the pump after the pump has been turned off, we recommend that you use the in-cluded backflow valve. Before inserting the backflow valve, the flat seal must be removed. Pay attention to correct posi-tioning.

Screw the hose connection on to the pump

Push the hose on the hose connection and fasten it with appropriate hose clip

Note:

The larger the hose diameter and the short-er the hose, the higher the feed rate.Illustration Unfold the folding legs if you are work-

ing without pre-filter (only SCP 12000 ).You can buy the pre-filter as an acces-sory.

Illustration Set the IQ Level Sensor to the desired

switching height.The IQ Level Sensor can be removed from the guide rail toward the top and placed separately if necessary.

Illustration Place the pump on a level, stabile sur-

face in the liquid to be transported, en-sure that it is standing firmly or immerse it using a rope tied to the handle.The suction area should not be blocked fully or partially through the impurities.

Illustration When installing the pump, you must

make sure that the pump can be sub-merged up to the max. submersion depth (h1) of 9 m, but only has a max. flow height (h2) of 7 m (SCP 1200) or 8 m (SDP 14000). The flow height indicates the height dif-ference between the water level and water exit at the end of the flow hose. You have to adhere to the flow height for the pump to flow. This must be ob-served throughout the entire pump run, as the flow height will increase with a decreasing water level (due to the pumping).

Operation

Description of the Appliance

Preparing the Appliance

The fluid level must be minimum 3 cm (SCP 1200) or 8 cm (SDP 14000) for the pump to suck in automaticallt. If the liquid level is less than 4 cm (only SCP 12000), proceed according to instruc-tions in the chapter of flat suction. Plug in the main plug.The IQ Level Sensor controls the pumping operations.The pump starts when the fluid level reach-es the IQ Level Sensor. The pump switches off automatically after 10 to 60 seconds (depending on the ambient conditions) when the fluid level falls below the IQ Level Sensor. The pump automatically conducts the adaptation to the necessary trail time/pump time. Thi setting remains saved for a max. of 24 hours or until the mains plug is pulled out. If the mains plug is pulled prior to the 24 hour time period, or after the 24 hours have elapsed, the pump will auto-matically set the trail time/pump time to the set value of 10 seconds.The optimising of the trail time/pump time prevents frequent switching on and off of the pump during rapidly increasing water levels. In this case, the pump will work even more effectively, the higher the IQ Level Sensor is installed.Note:Dry run leads to increased wear, switch the pump off within three minutes in case of a dry run.

In flat suction mode, the fluids can be sucked off up to 1 mm of residual height. Fold in the folding feet Set the IQ Level Sensor to the lowest

switching height (very bottom of the guide rail).

When the height of the remaining fluid is less than 20 mm, press the deaera-tion key or plug in and disconnect the pump many times till the fluid is sucked in.

Disconnect the main plug from the socket.

� DangerTurn off the appliance and remove the mains plug prior to any care and mainte-nance work.

NoteContaminations can accumulate and lead to malfunctions. Rinse the pump with clean water after

use.Especially after running chlorinated wa-ter or other liquids that leave residue behind.

In order to ensure a reliable switching of the pump, the IQ Level Sensor should be cleaned with a cloth (at least every 2 to 3 months).

The appliance is maintenance-free.
